TECVAYLI - MajesTEC-2 (MMY1004) Study (Cohort D)

Last Updated: 03/26/2025

SUMMARY

  • Janssen does not recommend the use of TECVAYLI in a manner inconsistent with the approved labeling.
  • MajesTEC-2 (MMY1004) is an ongoing, phase 1b, multicohort study evaluating TECVAYLI in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Cohort D is evaluating the efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with lenalidomide in patients with triple-class exposed MM who received ≥2 prior lines of therapy (LOTs).1,2
    • Tan et al (2023)2 presented the efficacy and safety of TECVAYLI in combination with lenalidomide in 31 patients at a median follow-up of 10.8 months (range, 1.1-16.8). The overall response rate (ORR) was 74.2%. The most common adverse events (AEs; any grade) were infections (80.6%), neutropenia (74.2%), and cytokine release syndrome (CRS; 67.7%).

Efficacy

  • All patients were evaluable for response. The ORR was 74.2%, complete response or better (≥CR) was 35.5%, and very good partial response or better (≥VGPR) was 64.5%.
  • The median follow-up among responders was 11.4 months (range, 3.9-16.8). The median time to first response was 1.2 months (range, 0.8-4.4) and the median time to best response was 3.7 months (range, 1.0-13.1). At data cutoff, the median duration of response (DOR) was not reached.

Safety

  • AEs reported in ≥25% of patients at both dose levels are presented in Table: MajesTEC-2 Study (Cohort D): AEs (≥25% Overall).
  • Two patients (6.5%) reported grade 3/4 febrile neutropenia.
  • Treatment discontinuations due to AEs were reported in 5 patients (16.1%).
  • Three AE-related deaths (9.7%) were reported (sepsis [n=1], coronavirus disease [COVID-19; n=1], and acute renal failure associated with progressive disease [n=1]).
Cytokine Release Syndrome
  • CRS of any grade was reported in 67.7% of patients (n=21). One patient reported a grade 3 CRS event (with associated grade 3 hypotension) that occurred during TECVAYLI step-up dose 2.
  • The median time to onset of CRS was 2.0 days (range, 1-4), with a median duration of 2.0 days (range, 1-15).
  • One patient had a subsequent CRS event during cycle 2. All other CRS events occurred during TECVAYLI step-up dosing or cycle 1.
Neurotoxicity
  • Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) events (both grade 1) were reported in 2 patients (6.5%).
Infections
  • Infections of any grade were reported in 80.6% of patients (n=25), with grade 3/4 infections reported in 45.2% of patients (n=14). The most frequently reported infections were pneumonia (22.6%, all grade 3/4), COVID-19 (any grade: 19.4%; grade 3/4: 3.2%), and sepsis (any grade: 16.1%; grade 3/4: 9.7%).
